Length: 2 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-26-17

Publisher: Technics Publications

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Your CEO just came to you, the HR leader, and said she was hearing rumors about the turnover rate going up. She asks you why this might be happening and how it is could be affecting the bottom line. Are there certain leadership issues? Are engagement levels changing? Is there a problem with the company culture?

These are all logical questions. You have hunches for answers, but you have no way to prove those hunches. You know your CEO is going to want data to support any argument you make.

You are sure that the answers to her questions are buried in the employee data collected in the different HR systems you have. You have been reading about "HR analytics", and you wonder how you would answer her question differently if you really understood the data about your people.

Quantifiably Better provides a path to follow in search of these answers. It will help you if you are just getting started with your HR analytics initiative, or if you are looking for ways to expand your existing HR analytics practice. In the end, you will find that the insights you desperately seek are easier to find than you ever imagined.

Title: Six Simple Rules

Subtitle: How to Manage Complexity without Getting Complicated

Author: Peter Tollman, Yves Morieux

Narrator: Daniel Henning

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-24-17

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

New tools for managing complexity.

Does your organization manage complexity by making things more complicated? If so, you are not alone. According to The Boston Consulting Group's fascinating Complexity Index, business complexity has increased sixfold during the past 60 years. And, all the while, organizational complicatedness - that is, the number of structures, processes, committees, decision-making forums, and systems - has increased by a whopping factor of 35. In their attempt to respond to the increasingly complex performance requirements they face, company leaders have created an organizational labyrinth that makes it more and more difficult to improve productivity and to pursue innovation. It also disengages and demotivates the workforce.

Clearly it's time for leaders to stop trying to manage complexity with their traditional tools and instead better leverage employees' intelligence. This book shows you how and explains the implications for designing and leading organizations.

The way to manage complexity, the authors argue, is neither with the hard solutions of another era nor with the soft solutions - such as team building and feel-good "people initiatives" - that often follow in their wake. Based on social sciences (notably economics, game theory, and organizational sociology) and The Boston Consulting Group's work with more than 500 companies in more than 40 countries and in various industries, authors Yves Morieux and Peter Tollman recommend six simple rules to manage complexity without getting complicated.

Showing why the rules work and how to put them into practice, Morieux and Tollman give managers a much-needed tool to reinvigorate people in the face of seemingly endless complexity. Included are detailed examples from companies that have achieved a multiplicative effect on performance by using them.

It's time to manage complexity better. Employ these six simple rules to foster autonomy and co-operation and to effectively handle business complexity. As a result, you will improve productivity, innovate more, reengage your workforce, and seize opportunities to create competitive advantage.

Half of this explained Scrum not Kanban

Very, very elementary.

For absolute beginners.

At least it explains Scrumban which in itself is a waste of having two separate visualisation boards for one team - seriously?

Title: The Network Imperative

Subtitle: How to Survive and Grow in the Age of Digital Business Models

Author: Barry Libert, Megan Beck, Jerry Wind

Narrator: Kevin T. Collins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-17-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 13 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Digital networks are changing all the rules of business. New, scalable, digitally networked business models, like those of Amazon, Google, Uber, and Airbnb, are affecting growth, scale, and profit potential for companies in every industry. But this seismic shift isn't unique to digital start-ups and tech superstars. Digital transformation is affecting every business sector, and as investor capital, top talent, and customers shift toward network-centric organizations, the performance gap between early and late adopters is widening. So the question isn't whether your organization needs to change but when and how much.

The Network Imperative is a call to action for managers and executives to embrace network-based business models. The benefits are indisputable; companies that leverage digital platforms to cocreate and share value with networks of employees, customers, and suppliers are fast outpacing the market. These companies, or network orchestrators, grow faster, scale with lower marginal cost, and generate the highest revenue multipliers.

Supported by research that covers 1,500 companies, authors Barry Libert, Megan Beck, and Jerry Wind guide leaders and investors through the 10 principles that all organizations can use to grow and profit regardless of their industry. They also share a five-step process for pivoting an organization toward a more scalable and profitable business model.

The Network Imperative, brimming with compelling case studies and actionable advice, provides managers with what they really need: new tools and frameworks to generate unprecedented value in a rapidly changing age.

Members Reviews:

This book is informative and fun.

Title: Sticking Points

Subtitle: How to Get 4 Generations Working Together in the 12 Places They Come Apart

Author: Haydn Shaw, Stephen M. R. Covey - foreword

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-11-17

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

This is the first time in American history that we have had four different generations working side-by-side in the workplace: the Traditionalists (born before 1945), the Baby Boomers (born 1945-1964), Gen X (born 1965-1980), and the Millennials (born 1981-2001).

Haydn Shaw, popular business speaker and generational expert, has identified 12 places where the 4 generations typically come apart in the workplace (and in life as well). These sticking points revolve around differing attitudes toward managing one's own time, texting, social media, organizational structure, and of course, clothing preferences. If we don't learn to work together and stick together around these 12 sticking points, then we'll be wasting a lot of time fighting each other instead of enjoying a friendly and productive team. Sticking Points is a must-listen book that will help you understand the generational differences you encounter while teaching how we can learn to speak one another's language and get better results together.

Members Reviews:

provides good insight on other generations

This book did a good job of presenting the different generations and explaining how the times in which the grew up and lived influence their attitudes. He gives good strategies to help the various generations understand each other better, and communicate to solve problems. The whole book is about working with other generations in a business environment. I read it to understand different generations in a ministry environment. I did find some helpful things, though the book was not specifically written to address ministry relationships. Many issues come together when you work together in ministry: personality, culture, background, and generations. This book helped me understand the generation aspect.

Very apt management book for us all

Describes very well how, for the first time ever, we have four distinct generations in the workplace and other institutions. Need to learn how to approach, understand, and communicate with them differently from when we came through the ranks. Very good treatment on the subject and good writing style for me, hammering the points in repeatedly in different ways. I like his style and this book. Helped in my business.

Different perspectives and learning how to work with them will be a new challenge but a good one.

Sticking Points brings humor, clarity and understanding concerning the four generations present in the workplace for the first time. Each generation has their own way of dressing, working, and relating to the other three. They are not wrong, learning to know them and how to work with them brings a new insight and challenge rather than the old way of acceptance or not.

Every leader formal or informal should read this book

I enjoyed how Shaw points out that this isnât just an issue between boomers and millennials.! Itâs between all generations. We do have more in common than we have in differences. Great book!

A Very Good Read

Excellent book! I needed this book for a class and it opened my eyes to many different "sticking points" my organization is/was facing. Through the discoveries in this book, I have learned to navigate through the dividing barriers and address some difficult issues with a bit more clarity.

Title: Trust Factor

Subtitle: The Science of Creating High-Performance Companies

Author: Paul J. Zak

Narrator: Dan John Miller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-10-17

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 24 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

For decades, alarms have sounded about declining engagement. Yet companies continue to struggle with toxic cultures, and the low productivity and unhappiness that go with them.

Why is "culture" so difficult to improve? What makes so many good employees check out? Neuroscientist Paul Zak shows that innate brain functions hold the answers. It all boils down to trust.

When someone shows you trust, a feel-good jolt of oxytocin surges through your brain and triggers you to reciprocate. This simple mechanism creates a perpetual trust-building cycle - the key to changing stubborn workplace patterns. Drawing on his original research, Zak teases out science-backed insights for building high-trust organizations. Trust Factor opens a window on how brain chemicals affect behavior, why trust gets squashed, and ways to consciously stimulate it by celebrating effort, sharing information, promoting ownership, and more. The Ofactor(TM) survey, data, and examples support the action plans.

Engagement programs and monetary rewards are Band-Aids on broken bones. To get to the root of the problem, you've got to go deeper. Packed with examples from The Container Store, Zappos, and Herman Miller, Trust Factor harnesses our neurochemistry to effectively cultivate work places where trust, joy, and commitment compound naturally.

Title: Management: Take Charge of Your Team

Subtitle: Communication, Leadership, Coaching and Conflict Resolution

Author: Alan Anderson

Narrator: Martin James

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-06-17

Publisher: Martin James

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Team management is important, but it isn't about being important. It's about being there for your team members when they need you and overseeing the project from a managerial point of view.

That means that you need to have a lot of skills including the ones shown in this book. Your team can only be as effective as you are. There is nowhere to throw blame when you are a team manager because the buck stops with you. However, when you do succeed as a team manager or leader, what you find is that your team members will follow your lead and will do so with added enthusiasm if they see that you have enthusiasm and vision to get the job done.

The idea behind writing this book was to use my experience to help those starting out and to be able to give useful and sound advice. There are many corporate-style books on leadership. What makes mine different is that it's written by someone who has been where you are, and who understands your difficulty in being faced with the job of team leader for the first time. Listen and learn how it's done. It's actually easier than you may imagine, once you know what it is that you need to be doing.

In this book you will learn how to:
